Holly Wreath


Good Morning Ladies,
Thank you once again for stopping by on this chilly Wednesday morning!
This card I started by cutting a 3 1/2 inch circle into the centre of a 6 inch
square piece of red card using a Spellbinder die, I then ran the card through 
the Creative Expressions  A4 Swirling Holly Embossing Folder,
I stamped my sentiment onto coconut white card using Justrite Christmas
Sentiments Stamp and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing
Folder, I then die cut it with the same die I used for the red card.
I placed the red card over a 6 inch white card base and placed the die cut sentiment
through the aperture to get the position correct and then carefully glued it into place.
I used double sided foam tape on the back of the red card to give a little dimension
and placed it over so that the aperture lined up with the sentiment.
I die cut some of the Gorgeous Holly Spray Die from CE and covered each berry with
a dot of Berry Sparkle Cosmic shimmer glue, it shimmers like magic!
I placed them around the aperture in a wreath style. I finished with a bow, made using
Sue's Classic Itty Bitty Bow and Itty Bitty Dotty Bow, in both red and gold card (to tie
in the sentiment), as a finishing touch I placed some red flat back gems to the corners
and in the centre of the Bow.
Just a simple small (for me) card, but easy to batch make if like me you have left your
card making to the last minute!
Thank you so much for stopping by, I would love to increase the number of visitors to my blog,
any ideas?
I so appreciate your comments, it gives me the inspiration to get out of bed and craft and believe
me that takes a lot, (not because I am lazy, its a medical thing)!
You lovely ladies are the best medicine ever, thank you so much!
Huge Hugs
Sandra
